A little non-for-profit tribute that I made in memory of Michael Jackson, part of a three song project including Billie Jean, P.Y.T and Man in the Mirror.
[Verse 1: Control]
I'm looking right up to the sky and now I’m feeling energy
I’m thinking bout the people that were looking back and telling me
I’m never gonna make it, never gonna mount to nothing
Now I'm looking down at them because my life is meaning something
I wish that I could sing to try and say how I feel
But sometimes my tone of voice has these feelings it conceals
I wish that i could me the man that you want me to be
But ive gotta go and be the man that i need myself to be
Because Ive got so many friends that are looking out for me
And man im making all this music thats just got me feeling free
Im thinking bout these songs and they always made me feel so special
I just knew that they were right when they all said I had potential
And I'm glad they were right, because now ive got a reason to be sleeping at night
I’ve got a vision, got a goal, a new purpose in life, because that man in the mirrors making everything alright
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
[Verse 2: Control]
So now Im looking up because I’ve got a clearer vision
On a mission in my life go and end all the division
Television tellings us that the whole world is turning rough
But there's no need afraid we just need to be standing tough
Life is just a series of trials and tests, and bets so let's be the best set of people living yet
We’ve gotta be the generation to go make a difference, don't let your life just be another one of insignificance
Cuz The world has a history of making mistakes
Never thinking of the difference that music can make
Look at Michael's legacy and all the things he left behind
And All the people he’s affected only happiness in mind
Go find yourself in your very own reflection
Because one day you can tell that you’ll be staring at perfection
Don't be stressing, dont be hating, cuz you know they’re underrating
Just keep looking in the mirror then you know you can be stating
That I’m
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
